1 December 10, 2010 Judge Richard L. Barron Circuit Court Judge Coos County Courthouse 250 N. Baxter Street Coquille, OR Judge Mary Ann Bearden Circuit Court Judge Lane County Courthouse 125 E. 8th Avenue Eugene, OR Judge Jean Kerr Maurer Circuit Court Judge Multnomah County Courthouse 1021 SW 4 th Avenue Portland, OR Re: Oregon Complex Litigation Court Dear Judges Barron, Bearden and Maurer: I would like to be considered for service on the Oregon Complex Litigation Court. As required by Chief Justice Order , enclosed are my resume and a list of what I consider to be the complex civil jury trials over which I have presided. The enclosed list includes 29 jury trials. In addition to these 29 jury trials, I have also presided over an additional 62 civil jury trials (which I could not consider to be complex) and an additional 254 criminal jury trials. All total, I have presided over 345 jury trials, both civil and criminal. I estimate, in my 23 years of law practice before becoming a judge in 1996, I represented clients in dozens of civil cases that went to trial, but I have no records or way to reconstruct this after all these years. Sincerely, John A. Wittmayer
